Here are the standout new features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A reimagined design built specifically for the tvOS screen<\/li><li>Spotify DJ recommendations<\/li><li>Smarter queue management<\/li><li>Seamless playback across music videos and podcasts, with adjustable playback speed<\/li><li>Remote control via Spotify Connect<\/li><li>Enjoy lyrics on-screen so you can sing along with ease<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/AppleTV_Lyrics.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106306 lazyload\" width=\"606\" height=\"345\"\/><figcaption><em>Image credits: Spotify<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, these changes make Spotify feel much more at home on TV, whether you\u2019re setting the vibe for a party, catching up on podcasts, or watching music videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Spotify\u2019s battle for the living room<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify adds that this update reflects its commitment to \u201cdelivering an intuitive and dynamic experience on Spotify, no matter where you&#8217;re listening or watching.\u201d Right now, it seems like Spotify wants to become more competitive for listeners in the living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/what-is-youtube-content-id\/\">YouTube<\/a> has already made major inroads here. This year, the platform revealed that <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/youtube-is-the-new-tv-and-bigger-than-on-phones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more people now watch YouTube on their TVs than on any other device<\/a>, with <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/youtube-tv-streaming-hit-record-highs-in-december-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">400 million hours of podcasts consumed on living room screens in 2024<\/a>. That signals a huge shift in how audiences consume content, and Spotify clearly wants a piece of that action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify recently <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/spotify-netflix-partnership-video-podcasts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">confirmed a partnership<\/a> to bring video podcasts to Netflix.
